GLOW 2025: SARAH COHEN, VOTED VISITOR’S CHOICE

The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, voted #2 BEST children’s museum in the nation, invited 8 artists to compete in a festival called “GLOW” in February of 2025. Four artists were given the theme of cool, while the other four artists were given the theme of warm. Artists were given 2 hours to create their work of art live at the event. Works produced must be related in some way (visually and/or conceptually) to the theme designated to each artist. GLOW—an evening of art making, exhibits and performances that glow, spark and light up the dark! Evening activities take place outdoors and on the first floor of the Museum on Saturday, February 22 from 5–8pm.
